It’s been ten years since I saw my ex. Now his mother says I killed him…

I was so in love with Jacob – my childhood sweetheart, my world – until a vicious rumour about me meant I had no choice but to leave town. But I never stopped loving him. I just hoped me being gone might protect him…

I haven’t been back to our hometown in the ten years since we broke up. But as I clutch the invitation in my hands, I know I have to return. Jacob is dead, and his funeral is three days from now.

When I arrive, I’m immediately struck with the feeling I should never have come back. Whispers follow me, eyes cut me sly glances. And then, right there in the church, Jacob’s mother screams the worst five words I could ever imagine: “Eva Walsh – you killed my son!”

In that moment my entire world tilts. Why would she accuse me of something like that? My heart is pounding, my palms slick. I need to get out of here. But nobody knows the truth about me, they only think they do. And now they don’t know how far I’ll go to find out what really happened to the ex I buried…

An absolutely gripping, claustrophobic small-town psychological thriller that will get your heart pounding! Perfect for fans of addictive page-turners like The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and None of This Is True.
